The King and Dr. Nick
On 3/8 Leaving a Mark wrote: This book was different from what I originally expected. I was thinking that it would be a lot of anecdotes about the life and death of Elvis that only those closest to him knew about. There was a great deal about the still mysterious death of Elvis, but not as many behind-the-scene anecdotes about his ... The King and Dr. Nick by George Nichopoulos, M.D.
Living Life in the Zone
On 1/15 Leaving a Mark wrote: The strength of this book is the “Playmakers” section. These stories about well and lesser known sports figures were excellent in providing real life examples of people either living out or failing to live out the concept being discussed. Learning via the story method drives a multitude of points ... Living Life in the Zone by Kyle Rote and Joe Pettigrew
Jesus Lives
On 12/10 Leaving a Mark wrote: I’m going to be up front and say that, while unique, I never got comfortable with this style and eventually came to the point where I looked forward to being finished with this book. The writing is good, but I was uncomfortable having the author’s words attributed to Jesus. I did think that most ... Jesus Lives by Sarah Young
Finding Purpose Beyond Our Pain
On 11/21 Leaving a Mark wrote: This is a good little book. Actually, at 281 pages, it isn’t so little. With sections on injustice, rejection, loneliness, loss, discipline, failure and death, the book covers a lot of ground. Authors Paul Meier, M.D. and David L. Henderson, M.D. aim to help readers find purpose in the midst of ... Book Review: Finding Purpose Beyond our Pain
Obstacles Welcome
On 11/4 Leaving a Mark wrote: The book offers little in terms of ground that hasn’t been covered before. Work hard. Persevere. Empower employees. Set measurable goals. Get feedback. Hold others accountable. Be approachable. Be resilient. Dream big. Apart from a lack of new information, I’m just not sure how Biblically ... Obstacles Welcome by Ralph de la Vega
What Difference Do It Make?
On 10/6 Leaving a Mark wrote: Nutritionists always say to eat as close to the real thing as possible. Whereas they would tell you to eat straight-up potatoes, this book is like a can of Pringles. Don’t get me wrong, I love Pringles (especially the Sour Cream & Onion flavor). But, if you’re looking for the original, this is ... Book Review: What Difference Do It Make?
Find Your Strongest Life
On 10/5 Leaving a Mark wrote: Don’t ask yourself what the world needs – ask yourself what makes you come alive, and then go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive. – Howard Thurman First off, this book is for women. Secondly, I am a man. So, if you’re scoring at home, this is a review ... Find Your Strongest Life by Marcus Buckingham
The Noticer
On 9/3 Leaving a Mark wrote: A sage once declared that the purposes of a man’s heart are deep waters, but a man of understanding draws them out. Jones is this type of man. Or, maybe he isn’t a man at all. Maybe he’s an alien. Or an angel. Or a ghost. While it is difficult to describe who exactly he is, it is far easier ... The Noticer by Andy Andrews
